As someone who had to mess with init scripts for a couple of distros for someone who requested it, this was not far from my idea of pure anti-fun. Every distro did init scripts in different, exciting ways, so I had to start over from reading the not-inconsequential docs for each one. The init systems come with some high-level helpers, but only if you want to use the shell, which is very unfun in its own right.
